There la a heavy decline in cotton in the Liverpool market, and some heavy dealers have failed. Wa have inadvertently overlooked a statement which it due Mr. Coughlin Clerk of the House, in connection with the publication of the testimony in the Wood County Investigation. It may eui-fice to say that we have .sufficient evi dence to warrant the statement that Mr. Coughlin is not properly to be held re- eponsible for the elimination of the re. narks of counsel, which are necessary to full understanding of the case, as to either the evidence which wae admitted or the evidence which wbb suppressed. He acted upon the advice of a majority of the committee as to the meaning ot the resolution of instruction. Whatever odium attaches to the suppression belongs properly to the Legislature which passed the resolution. American Criminal Procedure. The Beecher Trial, like everything else in nature, hat its compensations. If it baa debauched the public mind with an eclipse of faith and an inexpressible contempt for journeymen religionists, who prepare flowery piety for us at nigh saia. ries, mingling the Mammon of Pacific Bailroads with the Righteousness of true Orthodoxy, by the help of brains nour ished with the choicest viands of our Mutual Friend and Delmonico, it has also drawn the public mind into a familiar contemplation of the absurdities of the American law of evidence, the trivialities of our legal processes, and tha imbecilities of our trial by jury. A genera tion of prosecutions, having to do with the vulgar infractions of the Crimea Act . by the offscourings of the streets, could not have effected aa much. There haa been a dim consciousness, growing into conviction, that the giants of the forum are a rather paltry lot of wranglers, whose chief function is to " object," and whose supreme utility is to exclude all testimony having a legitimate bearing upon the case. Here is a case where the parties are seemingly an far as possible removed from the exigenciea of technical advantage, such as environ the vulgar necessities of thieves and ravish-era ; both sides profess that their only object is to ascertain the truth, the whole - truth, and nothing but the truth; yet the whole power of counsel seems to have been employed, not to develop, but to suppress the only evidence which could give us any insight into the "true inwardness" of the case. The English rules of evidence eeetn to have been derived wholly from the ancient times when savage penalties for small crimes dreed the courts to con etrue everything in favor of the accused. When the penalty of horse stealing was death, it waa natural that the courts ehould not only construe the rulea of evidence to at to exclude all self-crim inating testimony, but should also con etrue the law itself with such technical etrictness that, where the law prescribed a penalty foa, stealing "horses," and the criminal bad only stolen or ene aorta, he ehould go ac quit (See Blackttone.) These rules of evidence, fonnded upon the bu nine prompting of justice, where the penalty waa o disproportioned to the crime, hare come down to ae and are still in full force in our jurisprudence, where the reason for the rule no longer exista. The French law, allowing even the criminal himself to testify, with a common sense discretion on the part of the weigher of the evidence, seems much better suited to our modern code of punishment. It la true, this would require an entire remodeling of oor jury system. The qualifica-tioa of absolute idiocy wonld have to be abandoned. Inatead of requiringour jury to swear that they bad so little intelligence as never to have read a newspaper containing any account of the matter to be tried, it might require that an intelligent and well read jury should be selected, capable of weighing the credibility of evidence, and deciding how much weight should be given to the testimony of interested and uninterested parties. But we venture to say that this would not be an unmixed evil. If trial by jury is worth anything, it is valuable chiefly as medium for sifting evidence, and it teems to us that the efforts of able counsel should be directed not so much to excluding testimony aa to instructing the jury how much weight ehould be attached to the evidence of different witnesses. Ae it is now, the chief effort it to asphyxiate the jury and the evidence, by stilling everything having the quality of interested knowledge of thesubject-matter in controversy. If our juries are to he composed of twelve proved and tried idiots, this is perhaps well ; if anintelligence-qualification were demanded, it ie ill. Take the Beecher case for example : The first effort of the learned counsel is to secure a jury of twelve men who are willing to confess that they are idiots enough to have never read the newspapers and formed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the parties. Having em pan-neled such a jury, the next step is to exclude the highest evidence as to the matter in controversy, under the senseless rulea that ,-the party on one aide is not obliged to criminate himself by telling the truth, and the real party on the other side is not to be permitted to testify at all, because she is femme eomi'io the man who is moving Heaven and earth to prove that she is guilty. The rationale of these rules is, that the jury is so far idiotic as not to be trusted with the chief functions of a jury, which should be, to weigh evidence and determine the facta from all the testimony. So we find the able efforts of the dia- tinguished counsel on both sides directed chiefly to tlic work of excluding as much evidence as possible, pd protecting the idiotic jury from any strain upon its intellect in the way of determining the weight of evidence offered on either side, A Word to tne KevHhilcan stale Kii'lev, Brown Co., July 19. To the Editor of the Ohio Slate Journal : A great mistake has been. made in former years, by the State Central com mittee, in not sending speakers good ones at that to the counties of Adams, Brown and Clermont. It Is true that these countieB are hopelessly Democratic, but there are still a great number of Republicans to be found, and as a Repub lican vote in either Auanis, crown or Clermont will count on the State ticket just as much as the vote of a Republican in any ot the mora layorea Birongnoius ui Republicanism, it is certainly the part of wisdom to make a strong effort to secure the presence of every Republican in the counties mentioned at the polls. This can only be done by sending prominent and popular speakers, In whom the people have confidence and will go to hear, and who can infuse new life into the par- iv. Hundreds of votes will be lost in each of these counties, if this is not done, and pan these votes be spared, should be the question to be considered Dy tne committee. It ia no use to blink at this matter, and pass it idly by. It will take a big effort to bring out the Rannhllnan vote here. All three counties are sadly deficient in good speakers of their own. in iact, not worn aiigui ue called a "stumper" can be found, save Rv. Granville Moodv. And in this county we have not had a Republican pa per for a year. During a Congressional campaign there ia aonie excuse for neglecting those coun ties where there it no hone of success, hni. now there is none, and the fate of the St.lo ticket mav depend on what is done in the three spoken of. Send some of those gentlemen who have gene over the same ground, in the. northern part of the State, year alter year. Their ideas will be expanded and mui-tinlied by the visit. We can show them beautiful vine-covered hills, majestio river, magnificent steamboats and the richest and greatest producing tobacco region in thecountry. JSven our own town of Riolev can boast of what not a single city in tha State can claim, a piano manuiactory competing auccesami-kr aith the most celebrated Eastern manufactures, turning out twelve pianos a week, and whose name, "Valley Gem." haa become a household worn tnrougn- out the West. Tbey will find our people hospitable, intelligent and enterprising, and not to be excelled in the way oi en- tartalnino-. Hoping the committee win view ine matter rightly, 1 remain yours, nirliBt, Archaeological Society. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : A few gentlemen who are interested in the study of the ancient remains of the State are desiring to form an Archaeologi cal Society.

He asserted that there was not a member of the Society who had not at different times, and some of them frequently, caused their names to ap;enr in the papers in connection with difficult cases, and "remarkable cases," or as lecturers, etc., and back ed up his assertion by an array of names and laots which must have made his hearers squirm. - Warming as he proceed ed the speaker Baid : "iNow they threaten to call meaonack.

There la a heavy decline in cotton in the Liverpool market, and some heavy dealers have failed. Wa have inadvertently overlooked a statement which it due Mr. Coughlin Clerk of the House, in connection with the publication of the testimony in the Wood County Investigation. It may eui-fice to say that we have .sufficient evi dence to warrant the statement that Mr. Coughlin is not properly to be held re- eponsible for the elimination of the re. narks of counsel, which are necessary to full understanding of the case, as to either the evidence which wae admitted or the evidence which wbb suppressed. He acted upon the advice of a majority of the committee as to the meaning ot the resolution of instruction. Whatever odium attaches to the suppression belongs properly to the Legislature which passed the resolution. American Criminal Procedure. The Beecher Trial, like everything else in nature, hat its compensations. If it baa debauched the public mind with an eclipse of faith and an inexpressible contempt for journeymen religionists, who prepare flowery piety for us at nigh saia. ries, mingling the Mammon of Pacific Bailroads with the Righteousness of true Orthodoxy, by the help of brains nour ished with the choicest viands of our Mutual Friend and Delmonico, it has also drawn the public mind into a familiar contemplation of the absurdities of the American law of evidence, the trivialities of our legal processes, and tha imbecilities of our trial by jury. A genera tion of prosecutions, having to do with the vulgar infractions of the Crimea Act . by the offscourings of the streets, could not have effected aa much. There haa been a dim consciousness, growing into conviction, that the giants of the forum are a rather paltry lot of wranglers, whose chief function is to " object," and whose supreme utility is to exclude all testimony having a legitimate bearing upon the case. Here is a case where the parties are seemingly an far as possible removed from the exigenciea of technical advantage, such as environ the vulgar necessities of thieves and ravish-era ; both sides profess that their only object is to ascertain the truth, the whole - truth, and nothing but the truth; yet the whole power of counsel seems to have been employed, not to develop, but to suppress the only evidence which could give us any insight into the "true inwardness" of the case. The English rules of evidence eeetn to have been derived wholly from the ancient times when savage penalties for small crimes dreed the courts to con etrue everything in favor of the accused. When the penalty of horse stealing was death, it waa natural that the courts ehould not only construe the rulea of evidence to at to exclude all self-crim inating testimony, but should also con etrue the law itself with such technical etrictness that, where the law prescribed a penalty foa, stealing "horses," and the criminal bad only stolen or ene aorta, he ehould go ac quit (See Blackttone.) These rules of evidence, fonnded upon the bu nine prompting of justice, where the penalty waa o disproportioned to the crime, hare come down to ae and are still in full force in our jurisprudence, where the reason for the rule no longer exista. The French law, allowing even the criminal himself to testify, with a common sense discretion on the part of the weigher of the evidence, seems much better suited to our modern code of punishment. It la true, this would require an entire remodeling of oor jury system. The qualifica-tioa of absolute idiocy wonld have to be abandoned. Inatead of requiringour jury to swear that they bad so little intelligence as never to have read a newspaper containing any account of the matter to be tried, it might require that an intelligent and well read jury should be selected, capable of weighing the credibility of evidence, and deciding how much weight should be given to the testimony of interested and uninterested parties. But we venture to say that this would not be an unmixed evil. If trial by jury is worth anything, it is valuable chiefly as medium for sifting evidence, and it teems to us that the efforts of able counsel should be directed not so much to excluding testimony aa to instructing the jury how much weight ehould be attached to the evidence of different witnesses. Ae it is now, the chief effort it to asphyxiate the jury and the evidence, by stilling everything having the quality of interested knowledge of thesubject-matter in controversy. If our juries are to he composed of twelve proved and tried idiots, this is perhaps well ; if anintelligence-qualification were demanded, it ie ill. Take the Beecher case for example : The first effort of the learned counsel is to secure a jury of twelve men who are willing to confess that they are idiots enough to have never read the newspapers and formed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the parties. Having em pan-neled such a jury, the next step is to exclude the highest evidence as to the matter in controversy, under the senseless rulea that ,-the party on one aide is not obliged to criminate himself by telling the truth, and the real party on the other side is not to be permitted to testify at all, because she is femme eomi'io the man who is moving Heaven and earth to prove that she is guilty. The rationale of these rules is, that the jury is so far idiotic as not to be trusted with the chief functions of a jury, which should be, to weigh evidence and determine the facta from all the testimony. So we find the able efforts of the dia- tinguished counsel on both sides directed chiefly to tlic work of excluding as much evidence as possible, pd protecting the idiotic jury from any strain upon its intellect in the way of determining the weight of evidence offered on either side, A Word to tne KevHhilcan stale Kii'lev, Brown Co., July 19. To the Editor of the Ohio Slate Journal : A great mistake has been. made in former years, by the State Central com mittee, in not sending speakers good ones at that to the counties of Adams, Brown and Clermont. It Is true that these countieB are hopelessly Democratic, but there are still a great number of Republicans to be found, and as a Repub lican vote in either Auanis, crown or Clermont will count on the State ticket just as much as the vote of a Republican in any ot the mora layorea Birongnoius ui Republicanism, it is certainly the part of wisdom to make a strong effort to secure the presence of every Republican in the counties mentioned at the polls. This can only be done by sending prominent and popular speakers, In whom the people have confidence and will go to hear, and who can infuse new life into the par- iv. Hundreds of votes will be lost in each of these counties, if this is not done, and pan these votes be spared, should be the question to be considered Dy tne committee. It ia no use to blink at this matter, and pass it idly by. It will take a big effort to bring out the Rannhllnan vote here. All three counties are sadly deficient in good speakers of their own. in iact, not worn aiigui ue called a "stumper" can be found, save Rv. Granville Moodv. And in this county we have not had a Republican pa per for a year. During a Congressional campaign there ia aonie excuse for neglecting those coun ties where there it no hone of success, hni. now there is none, and the fate of the St.lo ticket mav depend on what is done in the three spoken of. Send some of those gentlemen who have gene over the same ground, in the. northern part of the State, year alter year. Their ideas will be expanded and mui-tinlied by the visit. We can show them beautiful vine-covered hills, majestio river, magnificent steamboats and the richest and greatest producing tobacco region in thecountry. JSven our own town of Riolev can boast of what not a single city in tha State can claim, a piano manuiactory competing auccesami-kr aith the most celebrated Eastern manufactures, turning out twelve pianos a week, and whose name, "Valley Gem." haa become a household worn tnrougn- out the West. Tbey will find our people hospitable, intelligent and enterprising, and not to be excelled in the way oi en- tartalnino-.
